Chapter 0085: Killing intent
June 22nd, Early Morning
The ox cart set off, accompanied only by Jiang Zinan.
It's not that I don't want to bring Qianqian, but in the past six months, Qianqian has undergone significant changes and has begun to show her stunning beauty. How could this situation come about and cause trouble?
Although Jiang Zinan is beautiful, it is still within a reasonable range and does not lead to trouble.
This time we'll go straight to the state, but it'll take a month! "Ye Qing put down the car curtain and looked at Jiang Zinan." What, you're not getting carsick anymore
Where can everyone get carsick! "Jiang Zinan argued softly.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "It's good to be able to adapt. By the way, you've brought all kinds, right
I brought everything with me. The ox cart can't hold too much cargo, so I brought a thin blanket, as well as food and water for the next day's consumption. Just replenish along the way
I brought three hundred taels of silver and twenty taels of broken silver for exchange, which must be enough
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing remained silent, with a smile but not a smile. She stared into the distance and said, "It's strange, why am I feeling uneasy about this trip
Upon careful inspection, I was immediately surprised to see that the original golden seal had broken a corner, and the gray black air that was originally locked had leaked out, forming a large gray cloud cluster that was competing with my own red and yellow air.
Oh, why did the golden seal lock burst this time
The qi of calamity usually does not ignite, but it only becomes apparent when fate is critical. Once it has already erupted, it can lead to disaster and turn into calamity
This time I'm going to take the exam in the state, there must be some calamity. Is it my repeated reversal of fate
Should we go or not
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing sneered and said, "Once I win the imperial examination this time, it can completely change my destiny. It's normal to have such a backlash. How can I be afraid of it
Thinking of this, Ye Qing touched her long sword and a small bag, her eyes cold and distant.
With the Six Yang Diagram combined with the Little Martial Arts Sutra, no matter how rapid the progress was, there were limitations. However, in the dream of seven years, besides literary talent, the Little Martial Arts Sutra had already been integrated and mastered, and the dragon body was strong, reaching its peak of cultivation.
After coming out, although the body was still in its original state, all the experience and martial arts were superb, it was just that the body couldn't keep up, but after three months, this shortcoming was greatly compensated for.
And this small bag is a magical tool made by the cultivation of the Dao, although it is still very rudimentary, its power is extraordinary - it was prepared as soon as one felt the aura of tribulation.
I have this literary talent and martial arts skills. With so much preparation, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the disaster. "Thinking of this, Ye Qing ordered," Let's get on the road quickly and hurry up
Jiang Zinan responded with a "pop", and the ox cart quickened its pace. The cows in this world have been specially modified by Taoist methods, can travel long distances, are gentle and obedient, and can even be driven by young girls.
Yu Mansion
The next evening, Yu Fan stood on the steps of the courtyard and saw a person with a pale face coming in. Yu Fan asked, "Is the news accurate
Young master, it's June 23rd now. Ye Qing has already driven his ox cart to the state city and is approaching the county city. This is absolutely true! "The person reported.
After a pause, he continued, "Young master, this is too dangerous. Killing the scholar will have a bad impact... You should at least wait for Mr. Kou to come back and discuss before speaking
Yu Fan gave a cold smile and said, "There is no reason to retreat when doing big things. This is a matter of aftermath, and I don't want to do it now
Speaking, he got up, put on his sword, and strode out.
There were two rows of candles in the courtyard, and thirty people stood in unison in silence. Yu Fan stepped forward and stood still, and everyone bowed together: "Greetings to the young master
You are all children of my Yu family for generations, and I trust you all! "Yu Fan hoarsely said," I need you tonight for something
As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was a commotion that quickly subsided.
Yu Fan waved his hand as he spoke, and a servant lifted a silver plate covered with red silk. Yu Fan pulled off the silk cloth and saw silver ingots under the candles.
There was another commotion below, but there was no sound, and the team was not in chaos.
Yu Fan gave a cold smile and was very satisfied with the reaction below. He said, "This is full silver, it's the reward you came back for
At this point, he pressed his sword and said, "Listen now, immediately put on your armor, mount your horse, and kill someone. I will take responsibility if there is anything
Yes! "Thirty people responded in unison.
At dusk, Yu Guangzhao stood at the entrance of the Yu Mansion, with seven levels of stone lions crouching in succession. The pale blue patterns exuded a majestic aura, and with the blessing of every year, their killing intent remained undiminished for hundreds of years.
Under the command of an old servant, several servants lit eight clear lamps and hung their poles on the door.
Squeezing——
The vermilion painted door opened wide, and thirty riders emerged, all dressed in gray robes and hidden armor, with concealed bows and knives. The leader was Yu Fan, who remained silent and galloped straight towards the east of the city.
It's been so many years, and seeing this again, something big is going to happen... "said an old servant in a daze, while all the servants were surprised
On the top of the ten story wooden skyscraper in the mansion, it seems like you can touch the clouds in the sky.
A few people looked down from the window, and the leader was none other than Yu Cheng'en. At this moment, he nodded slightly and said, "I have some decisiveness, but I'm not stupid. I know how to avoid suspicion by taking a detour
The few people behind remained silent. It's impossible to keep this kind of thing hidden, the only difference is the brightness of the handle.
I know what you're worried about. Even if it's in the wilderness and the gods can't patrol, this is a violation of the bottom line, and the court will secretly record it
The family will never interfere deeply, it's up to him whether it's good or bad. However, I have found out that Ye Qing is just a branch of the county gentry clan. He has only been practicing for a year, so how many martial arts do he have? These thirty people are all elite soldiers in the mansion, trained according to the martial arts classics, and killing them is like killing a dog's ear
In a few days, it will be the state examination. During this short period of time, my Yu family can still handle it. As long as Fan'er is promoted to juren, this secret account will only be a secret account, and even in the palace examination, it may be cancelled completely
The last faint yellow light disappeared into the window of the building, and a servant came up to light the lights and then descended from the tall building.
At this moment, a middle-aged man hesitated and spoke from a different angle, urging, "The third young master is talented in literature and Taoism, and he can naturally become a successful candidate. However, the military and martial arts are dangerous, and swords and knives have no eyes. It's not the time of the world's upheaval. Is it really necessary to show respect and personally face danger? What if... the head of the family can still stop him at this time
Yu Cheng'en fell silent for a moment and said, "You must have heard the story of my family. When the Yu family changed dynasties, it was a literary family in the county. The world was in turmoil and the righteous path was upheld. However, it was destroyed by the army of bandits, and the whole family was destroyed. Only one child was hidden in a kennel by a wet nurse
After fifteen years of growing up and practicing literature and martial arts, it coincided with the prosperity of Emperor Taizu, the appointment of archers and horses as officials, and the appointment of governors as county governors. They learned from the lessons of the extermination of their families and passed on the teachings of literature and martial arts to protect their descendants. It was precisely because they were concerned about the unpredictability of fate... Besides, is this truly a peaceful era
A few people looked at each other, feeling scared at the smell, all bowing deeply, only a strong cool breeze blowing through the rooftop.
Yu Cheng'en didn't say much anymore. He looked down at this huge mansion, surrounded by pale yellow under the night sky. Looking at the eastern city from afar, all the people and horses had disappeared at the end of his line of sight. At this moment, he sighed slightly and said, "Gentlemen, don't be afraid. Let him go. He has received too much care from the clan over the years, and there have been many failures these times, which has caused disputes within the clan. It's also difficult for me to suppress him
He has gone, if he can kill Ye Qing, he will still be the heir of our mansion. If he can't... that's all! "Yu Cheng'en sighed at this point.
The eastern sky is shrouded in clouds and mist, faintly covering the moon. When the air is moist, there is a sign of rain.
A middle-aged man in a gray robe frowned at the sight and bowed, saying, "That being said, after all, the young master is a precious heiress. It's up to me to keep up and prevent any unexpected changes in the thunderstorm, so as to ensure that all necessary measures are taken
Then please trouble Mr. Dai, "Yu Cheng'en nodded, watching as he descended the stairs. A gray shadow flickered and a light smoke drifted away.
Thirty miles west of the county city
The night was quiet, with mist covering the sky. After resting, there was no village in front and no shop behind. There was only one shrine, which was covered in moss. Although there was no abbot, there were still some incense offerings. So I went down and placed three incense sticks on the statues in the shrine, which was considered a ritual.
At this moment, Jiang Zinan unloaded his luggage, settled the Yuanniu, served Ye Qing with food, and carefully closed the temple door.
Ye Qing lay on the makeshift blanket, unsheathed his sword, his eyes half open and half closed, watching the girl sway her graceful body. However, he admired her caution and couldn't help but recall the words of his past life - 'If you're innocent, you should kill the foot teeth of the car and ship shop.'.
At this point, I have become proficient in Taoism and martial arts, without worrying about thieves. However, in my previous turbulent life, there were many enemies who would resort to any means necessary. Over time, I have developed a habit of caution and would rather cause more trouble than try to avoid some problems.
After a moment, the girl looked back and saw that Ye Qing had already closed her eyes and gone to sleep. She thought for a moment, lit a stick of incense, prayed to the unknown statue behind the red curtain, quietly removed her outer garment, and slipped into the thin quilt with only her bellyband.
The candle flame blew out, and only a spark on the incense table lit up. The incense burned softly, tossing and turning for a while, in a peaceful atmosphere, I naturally fell asleep.
The moon is hidden and the clouds are heavy, concealing the shifting stars.
In the middle of the night, the crimson curtains fluttered without wind, and a sudden light flashed through the virtual room. The temple door trembled, and a muffled thunder echoed from afar in the sky.
Ye Qing immediately woke up, instinctively drawing out his long sword. A clear wave swayed across the wall, following the crack in the door and seeing that no bright light was visible.
Jiang Zinan sat up with his chest covered and stared in the darkness, "Did it thunder
Ye Qing lowered his chin and was about to speak when he instinctively glanced at the crimson curtains and clay sculptures, which trembled slightly. At this moment, they seemed to signal something, but in an instant, he didn't hear anything.
Another thunderbolt struck, reflecting Jiang Zinan. At first glance, there was a hint of blood on her face, with black energy permeating her body. The blood light enveloped her, and there was a cold chill in the air.
This feeling is really long lost! "Ye Qing was taken aback and burst out laughing.
Opening the temple door, the humid wind howled in, with rain stars in the air, making people feel mentally shaken: "Thunderstorm? It's really a disaster when the wind fills the building
This feels so familiar, how many times has it been
In the past life, due to abnormal spiritual energy tides between heaven and earth, an unprecedented typhoon appeared on the Black Sea Ocean. The Dragon Lord of the East Sea could only adjust a few points and simply turned to his neighbor as a ravine, causing the heavy wind and rain to come from upstream, and the Taiping Lake could not fully adjust, resulting in this thunderstorm.
Therefore, when a great tribulation occurs, there are many storms and winds, and many battles are fought in this storm.
Although it is not a time of great calamity now, this familiar storm still reminds him of countless battles in his past life.
Ye Qing's hair was wet, and she turned back to the statue with a calm bow: "Thank you for warning me, but I still need to borrow the treasure land. If I can escape this calamity, there will be a good reward
Another electric light flashed across the sky and earth, reflecting the deity statue.
